a consolidated pre-action protocol
27 April 2007
Many of Browne Jacobson's clients instruct the firm to deal with
claims on their behalf, either at a pre action stage or following
issue of a claim in the courts. Many of these claims fall within
the ambit of the existing pre-action protocols. Browne Jacobson and
its people therefore have extensive experience of working under the
protocols and of the strengths and weaknesses inherent in their
processes. Further, Browne Jacobson and its people often have the
opportunity of conducting an impartial review of pre-action conduct
between a client and another party to a claim and this highlights
areas in which the pre-action protocols might be strengthened.
Browne Jacobson recognise the benefits to its clients of an
effective pre-action protocol as a means of achieving appropriate
resolution of a claim at an early stage and with minimal costs.
Browne Jacobson is eager to contribute to the ongoing development
of the pre-action protocols with a view to building upon their
effectiveness.
